Electricity and water shut-off notice: help Rafael pay $200

The electricity and water account is 4 months behind. Rafael received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on November unless $200 is paid. He had never been late before July's medical emergency. Rafael called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $30 first, which isn't available. The household includes an elderly mother, and going through winter without electricity and water isn't safe. We would also lose the ability to run the medical equipment at home. Rafael is working on getting back on his feet, and wants to pay it forward once steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Rafael's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $200 goes: • Heating arrears: $105 • Reconnection and late fees: $35 • Down payment on a payment plan: $60 With deep gratitude, Julieta
